wordpress shortcode url decode non Latin character
It makes sense to look at the PHP function rawurldecode, which decodes URL-encoded strings. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rawurldecode.php For example, echo rawurldecode(get_permalink($post->ID)); will show the decoded post URL. But this isn’t really needed in hyperlink code. Sorry I didn’t just write a comment, I don’t have enough points for that option.

How to make sure the letters ‘pez’ do not convert to a fish symbol? [closed]

Modify WordPress to not replace + (plus) characters from URLs?
You can hook into WordPress’ slug algorithm and create your own slugs. For an example look into my plugin Germanix URL.

If just want to allow the slug without much coding, install Germanix and create a second plugin with this … Read more
UTF-8 Characters in URL – IE problem
Have a look at the PHP function urlencode(), that will hopefully help. Also, in the latest update of WordPress (3.3.1) they have fixed it so that permalinks (post slugs) no longer contain special characters. This of course doesn’t help with your already existing slugs, but I’m sure there are ways and means of cleaning that … Read more
Language selection for blog doesn’t exist?
Well, thanks to a suggestion from one of my mates I resolved the more critical problem (2) of the Hebrew text displaying in gibberish. All I needed to do was to re-encode the files as UTF-8 without BOM (they were encoded as UTF-8 (plain)). I re-uploaded these files to the server and Voila, everything was … Read more
